-------------------------------
Work for the issues JS2-870, JS2-872 and JS2-873 will commence in the separate security-refactoring branch (branched off the JS2-869 branch).

> The current User/Group/Role Preferences are tied to the Java Preferences API.
> JS2-869 will provde a new, simplified and more efficient preferences model doing away with the Java Preferences.
> For the User/Group/Role security principal elements this will require a drastic API change but also allow for better and improved integration with the backend systems.
> The Portlet API USER_INFO attributes need to be mapped (filtered per portlet application) to the User attributes.
> Furthermore, full backend integration needs to be provided so for instance LDAP can be used for storage/retrieval as well. This will require large enhancements to the LDAP api (which currently doesn't support mapping custom attributes yet).
> Finally, the admin portlets need to be enhanced to provide retrieval and (optionally, if the backend supports/allows is) modification of attributes per User/Role/Group.
